I've worked in the world of the web my entire career. I've worked with some of the brightest people in Canada. Over the years I've been responsible for the success of projects for Microsoft, Honda, Toshiba, ATI, MuchMusic, CityTV, CityNews and BMO.

My combination of technical expertise, business strategy, project management, and leadership have allowed me to build a portfolio I am very proud of.

As of recently I have become very involved in the world of broadband video, digital asset management, and user generated (participatory) content.
